The Northern Antiquarian (TNA) features a page for this Bronze Age cairn - see their entry for Little Skirtful of Stones, Burley Moor, West Yorkshire, which gives directions for finding the site, together with photographs, a brief archaeology & history and local folklore.
The cairn is also recorded as Pastscape Monument No. 49891 and scheduled as Historic England List ID 1011762, which adds: "The monument includes a large stone cairn c.19m in diameter and 2m in height at the east end of a ridge at Lanshaw, overlooking Coldstone Beck. The cairn has a deep central hollow which may be evidence of an unrecorded excavation. Some stone has been robbed from the outer edges, giving them a slightly irregular appearance."
